Is Settle Cyprus a law firm?

No. Settle Cyprus is an independent digital self-service platform for administrative guidance and form automation. It does not provide legal advice and is not affiliated with the Civil Registry and Migration Department of Cyprus.

Which Cyprus processes are covered?

The guided roadmap covers 9 relocation processes: Yellow Slip, Tax ID (TIC), GESY Healthcare, Bank Account, Social Insurance, Driving License, Vehicle, Property, Utilities. The business packages add 5 more guided processes: Company Formation, Sole Trader Registration, VAT Registration, Non-Dom Status, Annual Tax Filing. The MEU2 permanent residence certificate is answered by the AI assistant only — there is no step-by-step checklist for it.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The starter checklist, the first three roadmap steps and three AI assistant queries are free and require no credit card.

How much does Settle Cyprus cost?

There is a free starter tier and a one-time €79 Settle Cyprus Pass with the full relocation toolkit. For freelancers and company founders there are two business packages: Sole Trader Starter (€299) and Non-Dom Master Kit (€499). Every price is one-time — no subscription, no auto-renewal.

Built on official Cyprus government sources

Q: Do you register my company or file my taxes for me?

No. Settle Cyprus is a guided self-service platform: the business packages give you step-by-step walkthroughs with the exact forms, offices, fees and deadlines, and your dashboard tracks each step. You submit the filings yourself. Settle Cyprus is not a law firm, accountant or corporate service provider, and it does not provide legal or tax advice.

One afternoon of paperwork, not six months of guessing. Get your MEU1 form filled, your roadmap ready and your first Cyprus year planned, with official sources linked to every answer.

Scattered information

Why this exists

“I moved to Cyprus in 2024. I wasted months on conflicting advice, missing forms, and €300/hour consultants who just pointed at links. So I built the relocation guide I wish I had — with every fact linked to the official source.”

FAQ

Common questions

How long does the Yellow Slip take?+

The Migration Department states the application must be submitted within four months of arrival and that a decision is issued within one month of a complete application. Settle Cyprus does not change those timelines — it makes sure your form and documents are complete on the first attempt.

Do I need a lawyer?+

The MEU1 registration is designed to be filed by the applicant. Settle Cyprus prepares the form and the document checklist for you. It is not a law firm and does not give legal advice — for a disputed or unusual case, talk to a licensed Cypriot immigration lawyer.

Is my data secure?+

Your details and generated forms are stored on EU-hosted infrastructure (Supabase), encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Generated PDFs live in a private bucket and are handed to you through a link that expires in 5 minutes. We never sell your data.

Can I get a refund?+

You can cancel within 14 days of purchase and get a full refund — no reason needed, no conditions. Email us and the payment is returned to the card you paid with. This does not limit your statutory rights under EU consumer law.

Which processes do you cover?+

The relocation roadmap covers 9: Yellow Slip, Tax ID (TIC), GESY Healthcare, Bank Account, Social Insurance, Driving License, Vehicle, Property, Utilities. The business packages add 5 guided processes: Company Formation, Sole Trader Registration, VAT Registration, Non-Dom Status, Annual Tax Filing. The MEU2 permanent residence certificate is not a roadmap — the AI assistant can answer questions about it, but there is no guided checklist.

Do you register my company or file my taxes for me?+

No — and that is exactly why the packages cost hundreds instead of thousands. You get step-by-step walkthroughs with the exact forms, offices, fees and deadlines, and your dashboard tracks each step. You submit the filings yourself. Settle Cyprus is not a law firm, accountant or corporate service provider, and does not provide legal or tax advice.

Free guides

Ten processes, written out in full

Every guide names the department that owns the process, links the page it was read from, and carries the date it was last verified. They cost nothing and need no account.

Yellow Slip (MEU1)The Certificate of Registration for EU, EEA and Swiss citizens staying over three months. Documents, the €20 fee, and the four-month deadline most guides never mention.

GESY health system registrationEligibility, the strict order of steps, contribution rates, what is covered, and the activation visit most people skip.

Tax Identification Code (TIC)There is now only one way to apply, and it is online only. Which documents you upload, why the yellow slip has to come first, and what to do if you suspect you already have a number.

Opening a Cyprus bank accountA basic account is a legal right, not a favour — Law N.64(I)/2017, supervised by the Central Bank. What the bank must offer you, what it may lawfully refuse you for, and the leaflet to ask for by name.

Pink Slip (MVIS8)The temporary residence permit for visitors, and the form number almost every guide gets wrong. Two €70 fees, the income threshold, the bank guarantee, and why it carries no right to work.

Is a relocation service worth it?Whether a Cyprus relocation service is worth it comes down to one honest question: how heavy is your permit file, and can you read Greek and track the deadlines yourself? A cost and mistake breakdown for the Yellow Slip and Pink Slip routes.

Permanent residence (MEU3)MEU2 is the residence card for a non-EU family member. Permanent residence after five years is MEU3. Mixing them up costs an appointment and a wasted trip.

Social insurance (YKA 1-008)Form YKA 1-008 for employees and the self-employed, YKA 01-001 plus ERGANI for employers, and the deadline that falls one day before the work starts.

Driving licence exchange (TOM 7D)For an EU licence the exchange is optional after six months. For some other countries it is compulsory. Form TOM 7D, the 185-day residence rule, and what happens to your old card.

Importing a carRegistration, roadworthiness and the paperwork order that decides whether the car sits at the port or on your drive.
